[PATCH v3 04/10] x86/dumpstack: fix interrupt and exception stack boundary checks
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Tue Jul 11 2017 - 11:35:18 EST
On x86_64, the double fault exception stack is located immediately after
the interrupt stack in memory. This causes confusion in the unwinder
when it tries to unwind through an empty interrupt stack, where the
stack pointer points to the address bordering the two stacks. The
unwinder incorrectly thinks it's running on the double fault stack.
Fix this kind of stack border confusion by never considering the
beginning address of an exception or interrupt stack to be part of the
stack.
Fixes: 5fe599e02e41 ("x86/dumpstack: Add support for unwinding empty IRQ stacks")
